Apparently yeah. In fact, it's actually easy to tell which years are in the 2nd millenium just by knowing its final year.

That was the point of my question, the disbelief of "wait, 2k is the last year and not 1999?"

And I think it would be even easier if one could just look at the thousands digit and tell from that. It would be even more easier if the millennia and years and such were all 0-indexed, so you'd have the zeroth millennium spanning 0-999, the first millennium 1000-1999, the 19th century would be 1900-1999...

Would be nice, but unfortunately you can't change a calendar system the world is so incredibly used to. Just the change from the Julian to the Gregorian was a massive change.
